Steering wheel controls stop working

Good luck with your truck. I would urge replacing the SCCM module, as that's given me the longest duration fo relieve both in terms of months (4+ months) and miles (7,000) from the issue.

The problem with this particular problem is multiple people have had multiple fixes that seem to work, but no universal fix. So in my case I had a switch replaced (Osse I feel your pain with that one) that did nothing, a clock spring replaced that did nothing, then a 2nd clock spring that fixed it. Do I think the clock spring was the problem? I'm guessing no, that instead it was some physical action related to spring replacement or some reset related to it that fixed it. But I'm now 15 months since the fix and have had no problems since, so whatever it was seemed to work. So replacing the SCCM MIGHT do something positive, or might do nothing, like pretty much every other fix for this annoying, nagging issue that so many of us have had to deal with.

I have had this issue with my 5th gen 1500 Bighorn 3 times. Thankfully, each time, a hard reset of the radio got it working again. It's hard to understand why these trucks are so glitchy. I had 3 Challengers and 2 Durangos that all used similar programming and hardware that did not have any of these issues. Every morning when I start the truck for the first time, the radio goes through a on-off-on-off-on thing. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 minutes for it to get to normal.
